Another take

I've lived most of my life within 20 miles of the Oracle turntable factory. I well remember the earliest versions, it's inventor and the local very high end shop where each new version appeared. I listened to it( and others) on any number of great systems over the years.
Here's the problem. Even though I grew up on vinyl ( although I could not afford an Oracle)I could never get past whatever negative effect vinyl placed on my listening pleasure.
One obvious problem ( for me ) was my absolute intolerance of any type of surface noise. For whatever reason, good ( not necessarily great) digital somehow appeals to my inner musical self unlike vinyl ever did. I don't understand why and I really don't care but it does go to show you that listening pleasure can be attained in very different ways for each of us.
